On site gym
Employees are welcome to use the gym, located at our head office. This is free of charge and can be used before and after work and at lunch times. The gym has showers and changing rooms, along with cycle storage.
Private healthcare
Getting treatment promptly when you are ill is a high priority for most people. There are other benefits private medical insurance can offer as well. For example, being cared for in a comfortable environment can provide a significant boost to your well-being and help speed recovery. Visiting hours are usually far more flexible. That means friends and family can spend more time with you.
The Eric Wright Group Private Medical Insurance Scheme is designed to pay for the costs of private medical treatment to aid speedier treatment and recovery to full health.
Pension plan
In line with Government legislation, Eric Wright Group Limited will automatically enrol you into the workplace Group Personal Pension if you meet a number of conditions.
Employees may choose to opt out of the pension scheme if desired. There are minimum and maximum contribution rates for both parties and you may make changes to your contribution levels during the year.
Income protection
Eric Wright Group wants to make sure its employees are protected financially should they fall ill for a long period. That is why Eric Wright Group offers a Group Income Protection Scheme.
If you are unable to work through illness or accident, you will still receive a proportion of your salary each month. In this way, you can concentrate on getting better or coping with your illness, not worrying about how you’ll find money to pay the bills.
And it costs you nothing. The company pay the full costs of the scheme.
Life assurance
The Group Life Assurance Scheme provides protection for your dependants should you die before reaching retirement. The scheme provides a valuable lump sum that can help those close to you.
Not only does the scheme provide benefits when they are needed most, but it also costs you nothing to join. The cost is paid for in full by the company.
